As you can see there are now three different colorways (we missed the last pair), the traditional Mowabb combo of skin/orange/blue or the more radical turqoise and butter combo. Last but not least the best and freshest combo with purple/greybrown colors. All of them come with a leather toebox. Be prepared for the official release day.

Release pushed back on the 30th of November with very limited quantities worldwide as a Quickstrike Edition.

With the advent of the hot Aussie summer upon us, these Nike Air Trainer Huarache´s will be blazing up the sweltering asphalt with the sheer combination of eye popping fluoro and construction. Taking it back to its roots of origin in 1992, this Nike Air Trainer Huarache pays homage to the pure ’90s style with fresh and funky colours, along with the innovation that the shoe brought to that time. Extra ankle supports, fine mesh like mid strap and the extra comfort of the “easy to fit” sock liner not to mention the cut away areas for ventilation, you will be able to rock this goodness from dawn to dusk without breaking a sweat.

As part of the same “Crystal Blue” Pack as the Nike Air Max Lights “Crystal Blue” , Nike recently released the Nike Air Trainer Huaraches “Reflective Crystal Blue”.

In addition, the “Reflective Crystal Blue”, as their nickname suggests, feature a Reflective trim around the upper that shines when exposed to light. The Nike Air Trainer Huaraches “Refective Crystal Blue” are available now at select Nike accounts.

Following up on our initial post regarding the Nike Air Huarache x Nike Classic BW, we have new pics of the potential upcoming Nike Hybrid. As the name suggests, the Nike Air Huarache x Nike Classic BW, or the Nike Air Huarache BWs, feature a White/Beige/Infrared upper with a Leather body and a Mesh toe. The upper of the Nike Air Huarache BWs retains the overall Huarache shape, including the Huarache’s trademark ankle piece, while the midsole/sole of the hybrid, is taken from the Big Window classic. In addition to the colors on the upper, the tongue on the Nike Air Huarache BW features a very Nike Air Raid Peace Edition-esque print, a print that hasn’t seen the light of day in quite a while. As of now, the Nike Air Huarache BW is *tentatively scheduled* to release during the Summer of 2008, but with so much time between now and then, there is a chance that these Hybrids *may* never see retail shelves.

We will keep you up to date as soon more infos are available.

The Nike Air Huarache BW Hybrid should hit retail later this year.

As you can see there are two different colours, the traditional Mowabb combo of skin/orange/blue or the more radical turqoise and butter combo - our money is on the turqoise, even if it was damn near impossible to design the cover around such a weird palette.

With a fixation on more streamlined shoes this year such as the Court Force and Air Force, not to mention the imminent Dunk explosion, this chunky little number with its prominent rubber strap and comfy sock liner is a breath of fresh air. These bad boys have certainly raised the most eyebrows and initiated the most favorable comments.

Quickstrike Release will be on the 20th of October with limited quantities worldwide.
